Protesters flooded the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne yesterday, waving flags and carrying “Stop the Steal” signs.
Oil City News reported there were thousands at the event, which was peaceful.
“We are here because we love Trump!” Former Laramie County Commissioner Moses Lee Hasenauer said.
The crowd replied “We love Trump! We love Trump!”
Although the capitol building was evacuated, in contrast to riots in Washington, D.C., the event was peaceful.
However, Hasenauer became excited when rioters stormed the nation’s Capitol Building in Washington, D.C..
“They’ve overrun the Capitol!” Hasenauer shouted.
Across the country, protesters marched at their statehouses. In Minnesota, there were cheers when the Capitol news broke. In New Mexico, the state police had to evacuate staff as a precaution.
In Utah, Gov. Spencer Cox sent home hundreds of protesters. A small fight broke out in Ohio between pro-Trump demonstrators and counter-protesters. There was at least one person arrested in Oregon and a peaceful rally in Kansas had supporters filing into the statehouse through security checkpoints and walking around historical exhibits.
In Hawaii, protesters lined the road near the capitol building and waved American flags and Trump 2020 flags.
There were also protesters in South Carolina, but they left the statehouse before the attack occurred at the U.S. Capitol.
